Causes and Organizations

My purpose is to educate, empower and raise awareness of domestic violence. Domestic Violence is at epidemic status and unfortunately, society would rather sweep it under the rug than to deal with it. I'm trying to shift the thinking of society who believe domestic violence is only a physical assault.
